Overall, Brian Turner's campaign has raised about $52,000 more than Tim Moffitt has for his reelection bid.

ASHEVILLE – Democrat Brian Turner's campaign raised about $13,000 more than Republican state Rep. Tim Moffitt during the second quarter, according to state campaign finance reports.

Turner raised about $46,000 in the second quarter, bringing his total to $197,316.44 since January 2013. Overall, Turner's campaign has raised about $52,000 more than Moffitt. They are running for House District 116, which takes in most of southern Buncombe County.

Turner's camp boasted all of his contributions are from individuals and nearly 80 percent of the donations to his campaign were less than $100 — none from political action committees. Turner said the numbers show his grassroots support.

"The grassroots momentum for our campaign has been incredible, and I'm proud of all the hardworking individuals who continue to invest in our campaign and in the future of our state," Turner said in a statement.

In June, the Buncombe County Republican Party said 80 percent of Turner's campaign donations came from outside the district he is trying to represent. The Turner campaign countered, saying nearly all of Moffitt's money is also from outside the district.

Turner raised $90,389 from 354 people in the first quarter. Moffitt raised $43,365 in the first quarter, with about $31,000 coming from political action committees.
